An explanation of my last two posts.

Goya is a bitter tasting vegetable that is eaten regularly in Okinawa. I've seen it sold in the area but it's a little different, both in texture and taste. My mom grows the"Okinawan" kind in the summer in Michigan and asked me if I would like her to send me some. Naturally I excitedly replied yes. The video was taken on my cellphone (hence the poor quality) and is me going on about how good Pat and I's goya champuru tastes. In the champuru, "stir fry or mix", is goya, spam, eggs, bean sprouts, and tofu. By the way goya is also known as a bitter melon or gourd ( think) and in Japanese is called Nigauri.
